Tips & Tricks (5)

Tomato Texture Mastery 🍅
For the perfect salsa texture, remove the seeds and excess liquid from Roma tomatoes before chopping to prevent watery salsa.
Jalapeño Heat Control 🌶️
Remove the jalapeño seeds and white membrane to reduce heat while maintaining pepper flavor, or keep them for extra spiciness.
Flavor Melding Technique 🕰️
Let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend and intensify.
Cilantro Chopping Pro Tip 🔪
Use a sharp knife and chop cilantro just before adding to preserve its bright flavor and prevent bruising.
Lime Juice Optimization 🍋
Roll the lime on the counter before juicing to break down the internal membranes and extract maximum juice.
